Nothing Is What It Seems
Photography Installation, 2011
72x36 in.
Concept:
Over the last few years I have been exposed to more and more
family secrets. People who I thought the world of, had not been who I thought
they were. People who could do no wrong in my eyes turned out to be villains in
my book. Some lied, cheated, and many changed. As people around me removed
their sugarcoated masks, the walls of my youth started to slowly crumble.
Idea:
I wanted to create a roughly textured wall with perfectly
matted photographs. The idea is that when standing several feet away from the
piece all you can see are photographs on a wall, simple enough. As they
continue to observe it they begin to notice that the prominent facial features
have been cut out and through as they approach the piece and look into the
holes, there's a video of two girls running around a field in a loop without a
care in the world.
